Author has written 68 stories for Lord of the Rings, Hobbit, Silmarillion, and Avengers.

It was just a simple outing…

A sunny summer day in a large, peaceful meadow bordering a lake. A small child’s laughter echoes as we hear the splashing of water)

Glorfindel’s voice only as the camera pans over waving flowers and shimmering water: “We are simply going to picnic in a meadow, perhaps swim in the pond, watch bugs, do little boy things.”

Elrond: “I trust you to keep him safe, my friend.”

(screen breaks to the courtyard in Imladris and Elrond kneeling in front of a three year old Estel.)

Elrond: “Estel, it is very important that you do exactly as Glorfindel tells you. You must obey him in all things. Do you understand?”

Estel: “Do what G’orfin’el tell me...or I get twubble.”

(The scene shifts to Glorfindel and Estel walking towards the stable with Elrond watching with a troubled expression. Words flash on black screen as the music begins to take on a more ominous tone:

Should not a sense of foreboding on such a peaceful day have warned him of what was to come?

(camera shifts back to the meadow and we hear a rustling of leaves. The music grows more dark and foreboding. The grasses wave in the breeze as we hear a guttural growl, pounding hooves and a voice calling out….)

Glorfindel: “Estel! Do not move!”

(Another growl. A child’s scream echoes through the meadow. Words flash on black screen as music turns exciting)

An unseen danger!

(Camera zooms in on pounding grey legs and hooves speckled with blood as a horse races through the forest. Words flash on black screen as the music builds

A peaceful day turns to disaster

(Music slows to suspenseful strings as we see Elrond pacing a room as a woman enters looking concerned. The sound of hoofs can be heard outside.)

(Scene shifts to the door of the Last Homely House being thrown open and then all goes black as the music stops. Words flash on black screen)

Some wounds go much deeper than skin and bone.

(Mournful music as screen flashes to a close up of troubled blue eyes partially obscured by strands of golden hair then flash to a horse's coat, speckled with blood)

And some lessons are learned through much pain and sorrow.

(Camera zooms in closer on blue eyes filled with tears. In the background we hear voices raised in anger, followed by a crash of something breaking)

Will a family come together in such crisis?

(Scene changes to Gilraen, tears on her face as she spins and points off camera)

Gilraen: “It’s all your fault!”

(Screen changes to Elrond standing in the healing ward, his jaw clenched. He turns to look off camera)

Elrond: “There is nothing you can do. Now leave!"

(Flash back to close up of tear-filled blue eyes. In the background we hear a young child screaming and crying.)

Or will a household be ripped apart by tragedy?

(Music stops abruptly as screen goes black. All we hear is a rumbling growl, then a snarl… Glorfindel’s voice echoes in despair:

“ESTEL!!!!”

A word about me:

I'm a forty something professional pet stylist (Yep I cut dog hair). I live in Texas with three dogs, six horses and numerous familial units. I've been around the Tolkien fandom since 2005 and have been writing since 2006. I do not read self inserts, Mary Sues or Girl Falls Into Middle-earth stories. I do not beta read at this time. I do not give permission to use my stories or translate them.

A word about reviews:

Yes! Please! Reviews are the only reward a fanfic author receives for the time they spend writing for your enjoyment. I don't need a critical essay on why you like it. A simple "I'm reading and enjoying the story!" will suffice!

PLEASE NOTE that I cannot respond to ANONYMOUS reviews, so if you ask me a question in an unsigned review, I have no way to respond to it. Also note, I do not appreciate being lectured about canon in anonymous reviews. If you want to discuss canon, sign in and we'll chat about it. You can explain your take on it, I can explain mine, and we can agree to disagree. Or come on over to my forum and we can discuss it there, but if you lecture me about canon in an anonymous review, I will laugh at you and then delete it.

A word about The Hobbit films:

My version of Mirkwood has no Tauriel, hedgehogs or rabbit sledges. Or dragon scarred Elvenkings. And my Legolas is NOT a sulky teenager.

A word about canon:

I am not a canon purist, and I do prefer stories that stay true to canon, however, there are times when I stray from the path a bit. I call it creative license. I do not think the essay, Laws and Customs of the Eldar, applies to the wood-elves, but was meant to be the customs of the Noldor. Elves separated by such time and distance would not have the same culture or customs, in my opinion, although the biology would of course apply.

MY SERIES:

THE UNDYING FRIENDSHIP SERIES - Stories of friendship, humor, mystery, angst, adventure, and romance. All stories in this series are in the same story arc, bringing together the key players from the Silmarillion to The Hobbit to The Lord Of The Rings, with a few original characters thrown in for fun. From the First Age to beyond the Fourth, from Tirion to Rivendell, Mirkwood to Gondor, these stories explore the various characters in Tolkien's legendarium, the friendships and how they are all eventually connected.

A list of the stories in chronological order can be found here. Please note that not all are currently posted as some are works in progress I am still writing, and others are being revised for continuity in the series, so you may find some discrepancies in older works.

THE SPIDER CHRONICLES - Currently consisting of A Mirkwood Spider Landed On My Front Porch and When Fandoms Collide. What happens when fictional characters move in with me, beginning with a giant spider who fell through a random portal and ended up on my front porch, telling me stories of Middle-earth, to the Avengers joining the chaos. Complete insanity ensues. This is pure crack fic, so please do not expect canon compliance, characters in character or anything remotely resembling Tolkien's world.

THE GREENWOOD PRINCE SERIES - The story of Legolas and Cellinn from their romance to their growing family as well as the many rather ridiculous situations that arise in the Greenwood. Series is set stretching from the early 3rd Age into the 4th. This series can be found under my alternate account: NiRi's Narrations.

THERE'S NO KNOWING WHERE YOU MIGHT BE SWEPT OFF TO - Vignettes that are NOTpart of the above series will be posted as part of this Collection.

While waiting for the fog to lift, Aragorn and Gimli share a conversation about the Ring's temptations on the banks of the Anduin. But though he easily recognizes the danger in others, Gimli may have neglected to account for himself... A gapfiller featuring primarily Aragorn and Gimli with an extended appearance from Legolas and cameos from Boromir and Sam.

As Natasha went about her missions, the silence was broken only by a voice from above...that never shut up. A drabble about the mischief Clint is capable of with nothing but open-link comm equipment and time on his hands. T to be safe. Hints of potential romance.

A demi-god, a super-soldier, a man with breathtaking anger-management issues, two master assassins and a billionaire in a flying suit. Somehow, they're supposed to be on the same team... A series of post-New York encounters. (This story was supposed to be complete, until it became clear that Coulson lived, necessitating one more conversation.)

Legolas and Gimli... a friendship of this strength was not easily forged. The Ring will take Boromir, but what trials do the others face being near such evil? A Legolas and Gimli story, & Gollum too. New Chapter!

During the Dead Days, Legolas and a friend uncover a mystery on the eastern edges of the wood. Written for the birthday of my steadfast beta-reader, Ignoble Bard. Horror. Legolas; Original characters. Rated T for general creepiness.

"In all fairness, you already have Arwen," Legolas pointed out. "She was written," Aragorn retorted, "by the Professor himself. We even have a section devoted to us in the Appendices! However, nowhere in any of the books is the name 'Tauriel' even mentioned, much less your scandalous and entirely inappropriate relationship with her!" Crack. Anti Legolas/Tauriel. Hobbit 2 spoilers.

Clint stops pacing the apartment and ventures a look at her through eyelashes that feel like they're about to be encrusted in ice. Natasha, of course, is busy pretending that she isn't freezing to death.

Bourne Legacy crossover. Oneshot. Aaron Cross's reality is spinning out of control and all he wants is to be Clint Barton again. He wants to be Clint Barton so badly that he can't breathe. But he cannot be Clint Barton. Because Clint Barton never really existed.

Whenever they could, they spent their time off together. Sometimes at his apartment in the city, sometimes at hers, once at a series of increasingly abysmal roadside motels - that part didn't really matter, as long as they got to spend it in the same place. A post movie fic about decompression and taking the time to figure yourself out.

After New York, after the gods are gone and the heroes have returned to wherever they came from, Clint and Natasha go to ground. (A short fic for the cottoncandy-bingo prompt "Universe" wherein Clint and Natasha find themselves in a place they didn't expect.)

MEFA 2011 3rd Place Winner! When Legolas and Gimli venture into Fangorn, they unwittingly find danger while uncovering long-hidden secrets of elven past. With Thranduil, Celeborn, Galadriel, Narvi, Celebrimbor, and a cast of OCs.

She was in the middle of interrogating him when she noticed the look. He grinned at her (not really a grin, but as good as the real thing - a light dancing through his eyes and the barest hint of a twitch on the left side of his mouth), so she hit him again. Harder, this time, for good measure.

She knows, just from the snigger in his eyes, that he's found them. It happens on their third morning in Stark Tower, and she had an awful feeling that leaving the men to their 'male bonding' that Tony insisted on was going to bite her in the ass, because there was a reason she hadn't been invited, and the way that Clint followed her with his eyes told her exactly why.

Levelling out is part of their routine, part of after-action clean-up. They've done it many times before and are damned professional about it. But as she said, this last one was all about magic and monsters, and nothing they had ever trained for ...

To have Nat explain it, this was Russia and ballet was serious business, professional dancers moreso, and one of her ability? Well, she definitely ranked a bodyguard. A story in which Clint and Natasha spend a few months undercover in Russia, and Clint gets jealous.

Working with a partner is new for both of them. Working with a partner who mere weeks ago was an adversary is more than new, it's terrifying. Surely carrying around incriminating photos of each other will be an excellent trust building exercise... right?

Clint and Natasha and an easy exit from an assignment. Kind of. Rated T for blood. Hurt/Comfort if Natasha would call it that , past missions, bows and shirts. Any Clintasha feels are all down to how you read it.

Takes place after the movie. Natasha and Clint are both affected by what Loki did and now Natasha takes it on herself to keep Clint from torturing himself with it as they return to work. Includes team bonding. Featuring all the other earthbound characters too. slight Tony/Pepper and Steve/Maria but mostly a relationship study in Clintasha. Complete!

Natasha Romanoff hated Clint Barton. She hated the way he would smile at her and she hated the way he would only call her by a nickname. The one thing she wanted was to wipe that smirk off his face. That didn't mean; however, that other people were allowed to hurt him. No, Natasha showed no mercy to those that dared to even think about hurting him. *One-shot, Clintasha*

Hearing Natasha laugh took Steve by surprise and seeing that Clint was behind her newfound happiness didn't really shock him. After all, it was clear to him that they were more than "just partners." It was also clear that only Clint could convince Natasha to get some much needed rest. *One-shot, Clintasha, post-Avengers*

Natasha knew better than to engage Tony when he was rambling, but she couldn't help looking up when she heard her name. Once he started throwing his theories at her about her supposed relationship with Clint, she realized she should have kept her head in her book and ignored him. One shot. Complete

He had his shot. All he had to do was let the arrow fly and this Natasha Romanoff would be dead and his mission would be a success. So, why was he hesitating? Why couldn't he just let the arrow fly and be done with it? Setting the bow aside, he decided it was time to make a different call. *One-shot detailing why Clint decided to spare Natasha's life. Slight Natasha/Clint*

When he finds him on the roof that evening, gripping the bar around the edge of the rooftop so hard that it looks like it's bending under his hands, Coulson knows that he'll be kicking off any hour now.

Just before he realised the situation though, he had a moment to appreciate what it felt like to have her face pressed against his neck with her breath hitting his collarbone, and yes, she had moved into him for a second before pulling away.

In the spring of 2941, against all reason, thirteen dwarves decide to leave the safety of the Blue Mountains and take up a quest to slay a terrible dragon. Gimli would like to see their number increase by one.

As darkness gathers, and games of State turn vicious Legolas and Rhinure struggle to create something lasting out of a bond that was forced upon them. Will they succeed or will this new marriage fail, as it seems doomed to?

The stunning sequel to Monty Python's The Hobbit. Follow the frenetic folly as the fumbling Frodo is foisted on the fractious Fellowship for a frolicking flit through Middle-earth. Nominated for the 2010 MEFA's in the Tax & Accountancy category.

News of Gandalf's death affected more than just the grieving Fellowship, and early one winter's morning, an eagle came to Imladris bearing dark tidings from Lothlórien. A belated birthday present for Nieriel Raina.

When Gimli returns to the Lonely Mountain after the War, Thorin Stonehelm welcomes him as a hero and the celebrations begin. But Thorin soon learns that in addition to tidings of victory, Gimli also brings tidings of a much more grievous nature.

*Honourable Mention MEFA 2010!* [Complete] And from the LoTR Obsessants proceedeth the Fanfiction writers. But not all were true to Canon, and thus there was much flaming and strife among them. And Legolas spake unto the fangirls...

The most grievous crimes must be punished accordingly, but who has the right to assign guilt, and who, to assign penance? Aragorn and Legolas struggle to find their place in the eyes of the law and of each other. 1st place Teitho winner.

COMPLETED Legolas and Athelas seem made for each other. But when Athelas' sense of duty separates them, Arwen sends Aragorn to patch things up. He's a reluctant matchmaker, but can he do it? Legomance with a touch of Jane Austen

Lord Elrond of Rivendell shares a private letter from one old friend with another old friend, the wizard Gandalf. He hopes for help and advice with the problem contained in the missive. Nominated for the 2006 MC Awards.

A series of drabbles on various characters. Not every character is as angelic and noble as they seem on the surface. I own nothing. Read and review, if you please. AU some departures from Tolkien's canon.
